That led to design an innovative medical solution to analyze the moods and emotions of the patients using computer vision, applied intelligence and virtual avatar to interact with patients to form the smart healthcare system.

This smart health care system is intended to serve the patients in a more efficient way like reducing the wait time to consult the doctor, wait time to get preliminary diagnosis done, emotions on the face could help them understand better the situation, this also makes the doctor’s job much easier helping to treat more patients rather spending time on the preliminary diagnosis.
